Thank you for paying attention to the little details that make a photo. In this one it is the tasted, and put back, pieces of candy. That cements your title and makes this one. The focus is right one, the composition is really nice, and the cropping is not crowed and cramped or too airy. In my opinion this is one of the top ten.

Looks like they are really enjoying the snow. Snow is not really an easy thing to photograph well. And you did a pretty good job of it. Just a hair light. Wouldn't have hurt the shot of the children if it were darkened some, then the snow wouldn't be so washed. Good of the children. Love how red (cold) his ear shows up. To me the background is not out of focus quite enough for nice dof nor in focus enough for great focus. Maybe darkening would help that some too. More contrast would help a little. But still not that bad of a shot.

Red Rose

Beautiful rose, but way to busy. Also looks over sharpened. The three eggs (?) almost appear to be fighting the rose for subject position. Feathers only wouldn't be bad with the rose. The eggs (?) are way to bright and eye catching to not be the subject. With just the rose and the feathers it could be toned down some and be beautiful.

I love the title. This is what my kids think about me. I just wish the photo were lighter so I could see their faces better. Beautifully done with good, sharp, clear focus. Nice composition. This is a really nice photo, especially considering the weather. Just lighten it up some, and don't crop off the one persons feet. Would rather see less sky and have his feet, or cut off the feet of all three.

Do I Have to Go To Bed, I'm Not Tired!

Great little actor you got there. Cute, too. I really like the soft focus on this one. Bedtime should not be bright and sharp. Good choice. Colors are real natural. Crop is great. Love the title. Only problem when he bathed he forgot to wash the juice off his fingers and mouth. Just like all younguns. Pic was so good had to pic at you. This is a real nice photo.

Sunset

Don't know if I should say "nice how you used that limb to keep the sun out of your eyes" or "why didn't you step to one side or the other of that limb so you could get a good shot of the sun". Everything else is beautiful, colors, cropping, focus, DOF, etc. It's all a go. But I still don't know which question is correct or which way to score it. So guess i'll split it down the middle and give it a 7.

I know it's intentional but I don't like how sharpened it is. Even without sharpening a lot of people wouldn't recognize what this is. They haven't been around in their lifetime. Sorry but this is personally un-appealing. Still want to color outside the lines?

Please explain how you did the netting appearance on the photo. To me it ruins the photo, but I didn't think it was legal either. I get almost the same effect by using the telephoto lens but not zoomed. The fuzzy border then white then thin black I thought made 3 borders. I'm all confused on this photo. Sorry

Beach, Sun, Sand and Silhouette

Give me a little more sky and I'll give you a 10. Like the guy on the beach and his location in the photo. The cropping is especially good in my opinion - as much past the sun on the beach as past the man on the beach. Great job there. I would have like more sky, as much as you have land without and water on it on the left corner. Still a good photo.

Took some looking to figure this one out. This is different and nice. In fact each time I look at it the roofs appear to look different, looking life water, then like a roof, then like etc. Hope you can see what I mean. This is unique and I like it. Great initiative on your part and a well done photo.
